Reserving the Quad – Can an RO reserve the Quad for programs?
The Quad is deemed a “non-reservable/non-programming” venue for campus events and activities, with the exceptions of Quad Day and Homecoming celebrations. However, RO’s may reserve space on the crosswalk between the Illini Union and the Quad for information distribution, sales, solicitations, recruitment, fundraisers, and basic programming efforts. To reserve this area for basic programming, the sponsoring RO must submit a Space Request Form identifying what the RO would like to do (i.e. information table, flier distribution, sale of food, ticket sales, etc.). On the space request form indicate “QUAD” as the Space Desired. Even though the request is not literally for the Quad, this is a simple and consistent indicator of the general area that RO’s can use. The Office of Registered Organizations will review the space request and assign dates as available for the specific event.
